About this property

Eastern Lake Lakefront! Easy access to the Gulf! Pirate Ship & Treehouse!

  • Unlimited access to the beach. This spacious, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment is nestled in a grove of scrub oaks, on a bluff overlooking Eastern Lake. It is the bottom half of the owner's house, and they live upstairs. The Gulf of Mexico is about a 200-yard walk, due south. When you use the county access walkway, it leads you to over 350' of county owned public beach, surrounding the Eastern Lake Inlet, a gorgeous place for kids to play.
    You will have to wade across the Inlet, which is sometimes ankle deep, or sometimes waste deep water, or you can use a completely "dry" public access about 100 yards west of there. We think the most enjoyable way to get to the beach is to paddle in one of the canoes or kayaks that we provide. This apartment is the bottom half of owner's house, and they live upstairs. The entrance is in the BACK of the house, and you will get there down a winding pavers pathway All deliveries need to go to the BACK DOOR. The property features a patio, a deck, a dock, a Boathouse, a Waterfall, a Pirate Ship, and a Treehouse for your fun and amusement.
    Deer Lake State Park is less than 1 mile to the east. All of Scenic Highway 30-A is connected by a pedestrian bicycle and walking path. WaterSound, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach are within about 6 miles to the east. The Big Chill is a restaurant/ shopping hub about 2 miles east, and the town of Seaside is about 3 miles west.
    This house is located in a quiet, nice old Florida neighborhood south of 30-A on Eastern Lake, with restaurants, shops, golfing, and bike rentals nearby. There is limited parking. We must stress to you that we have a 6 PERSON MAXIMUM CAPACITY, and we have PARKING available for only ONE CAR. We have a strict NO PETS policy.

    If you need additional bedrooms and parking spaces, we also offer a separate 4 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom rental home with a swimming pool, located right next door. You can view it at VRBO #721289

The house and property exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean, beautiful, and well thought out. Our girls loved playing outside. The tree house and pirate ship were a big hit. The beach is very beautiful and just a quick walk down the street. We had an absolutely beautiful time and wish we could've stayed longer. Thank you Garrett and Nina for having us!

This is a hidden gem in the area - being on the lake is a treat! The cottage is well appointed with all the necessities, plus plenty of extras, like an abundance of bath towels, no shortage of toilet paper, and so many toys for the beach and the water! This is such a huge bonus for us families who are already traveling with so much. The propane tank was faulty when we tried to use the grill one night, but the owner of the property was responsive immediately and replaced the propane tank for us right away. This home is has tons of character, it is well-loved and cared for, and we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location!

Best of both worlds with lakefront property and quick access to the beach! The pirate ship and treehouse were amazing and a hit with the kids. We loved kayaking the lake and canoeing to the beach. Quick walk to an ice cream shop and a great outdoor restaurant too.

We had such a nice, quiet week at Of Days Gone By. We've stayed at several other places along 30A, but this one was unique, with lots of great personal touches, including a great outdoor area. We were there the week after Christmas and enjoyed the holiday decor and lighting that was still up. We loved using the kayaks on Eastern Lake and when the weather was warm enough, I sat on top of the pirate ship to enjoy the view and read a book. We would have loved to stay on through the winter!

Beautifully Amazing!

This property was beautiful and quiet! We are a family of four and we had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. It had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. This area was quiet, which we loved! It was also an easy walk to the beach but be prepared to cross a thigh high inlet to get there! My son fished off the dock the entire time we were there! Overall, a great family vacation!

Wonderful for Family with Kids

We absolutely loved our stay, the property is so uniquely decorated and truly keeps the old Florida style alive. We loved the natural feel of the back yard and the preservation of the original landscape. The our 8 year old loved the pirate ship and the whole family enjoyed the kayaks/canoes on the lake and swimming in the lake. it was perfect for post beach relaxing and floating. the interior is very well decorated and the perfect size for a family of 5-7. We will definitely be looking to bring our family back to Days Gone By.

Awesome beach house

We had a great time at this house! It was since and shaded and offered a beautiful view of the inlet lake. Our boys loved the pirate ship and tree house! It was easy and fun to kayak to the beach. We were walking distance from a great ice cream shop and a couple of awesome restaurants. Thank you Garrett and Nina for a great place to stay!

A special spot on 30A

Really cool house. Right on Eastern Lake. Perfect location. Close to beach. House was perfect for our family of 4. Kids loved the pirate ship (truly an awesome creation!). Hosts were on site but we never felt like our privacy was compromised. The dock on the lake was awesome. And all of the included equipment was a huge bonus. Great kayaks, a canoe and beach gear available to use. This is a really great place to stay.

Wonderful stay

This house was perfect for our family of four (kids aged 2 and 8). The kids loved the pirate ship and treehouse! We loaded up the canoe to take our stuff to the beach each day. The beach area was ideal for small children where Eastern Lake meets the ocean. Our toddler loved playing in the shallow water there. The house itself was very relaxing and we enjoyed drinking coffee on the shady patio with views of the lake. It was like having a beach house and a lake house in one. Our kids are already asking when we can go back!

Nice get away

The property was beautiful, lots of trees and shade. As said by other guests, the upstairs is occupied by the owner but that was never a problem. We used the numerous human propelled watercraft to get to the beach daily, but a short walk would’ve done the same. It’s a quaint little neighborhood and the property manager was very receptive to communication and outlined the stay perfectly. If you’re looking for seclusion and a good place to sit on a dock and have a cocktail or coffee this is your place.

What a treat!

There aren't enough adjectives to describe how lovely our stay was at Garrett's place.The home has been improved even more since the pictures so it's even better than what is pictured, believe it or not! Our 3, 8 and 10 year old kiddos loved playing on the pirate ship and we loved the convenience of being able to load everyone on canoes and paddle ourselves to the beach each day. The home felt very private and comfortable - we had all we needed for a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to our next visit to this wonderful home! Thank you Garrett for being such a great host!

Seagrove 2024

Always a great stay in this Eastern Lakefront property. Owners are always great host, unit is very clean and accommodating for all near by beach towns and activities. Paddle around the lake, paddle to the beach, walk or bike - take your pick or do all three! The beach is a short walk two public access. You can rent beach chair at Ramsgate access or this unit has great chairs that where easy to carrry with a great umbrella. All the beach town you would need too! Great places to eat near by....already miss the morning coffee sitting on the deck over looking the lake watching the sun rise - and the sun sets....Can't wait for a return trip very soon!

Loved our stay here!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Even though it was just the lower level, it was still very spacious and you didn’t feel cramped at all. The place was very clean and it offered everything we needed and more. Not having to bring boards, beach chairs, and umbrellas was nice. We really loved having the kayaks. It was nice to come up in the middle of the day or the evenings and use them. The kayaks and fishing off the dock kept my 13 year old very entertained when we just needed some downtime. I will say that the owners were on site. They were staying upstairs so there were some times when you could hear them walking around or talking. We never felt like our privacy was compromised. They answered questions when we had them, but didn’t impede on our space otherwise. We were really pleased with our stay! We really enjoyed bringing food back to the house and having breakfast and supper on the dock too. Sunrises were beautiful on the dock.

We absolutely loved staying in Garrett and Nina’s home on Eastern Lake. The house was spotless when we arrived and a perfect location on Eastern Lake where we were able to either kayak to the beach or walk right down the street to the beach access. We loved the pirate ship and the amenities provided in the boat house! Perfect space for a smaller group traveling to 30a.
